Which factors are NOT typically a focus in examining racial profiling?

The focus on examining racial profiling typically centers around characteristics that are often falsely linked to criminal behavior, such as race and ethnicity, gender, and age. These factors tend to disproportionately affect certain demographic groups and are commonly scrutinized in studies of racial profiling.

On the other hand, a criminal record pertains specifically to an individual's past legal history and is not inherently a characteristic of racial profiling itself. While someone's criminal history may influence law enforcement decisions, it is not a demographic factor like race, gender, or age. Instead, racial profiling concerns itself more with how these traits can lead to biased policing practices, rather than the legal background of individuals, which is viewed as a separate consideration in evaluating law enforcement behavior.
